Cambridge Race 12 - MT WELLINGTON TAB STAKES

TURTLE WATCH (6) boasts a strong record this journey here with seven wins and four minors from 18 tries. Placed last time (21.57) at this track in a Class 4/5, finishing third and beaten 3 lengths. With a clean break looks hard to beat. SCHMEICHEL (7) had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row before finishing fourth (38.50) at this track latest. Solid record here winning four races. Cannot be taken lightly. GONE WALKABOUT (3) had been in great form but was out of the placings last run, finishing sixth (26.21) in a Class 4/5 at this track. Generally fast to begin but was always well back despite the low draw last time. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. OPAWA THUNDER (5) was a last-start winner who is worth following up. Each way value.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won comfortably by 3.5 lengths at Manukau (30.79) beating Unique Sunrise in a Class 4/5 on April 19. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording five placings in a row, before finishing sixth (38.74) at this track last start. Awkwardly drawn and needs to find best form to feature.

Good effort to win last start by 0.7 lengths over 457m at this track in a handy (25.75), beating Big Time Lauren. Can measure up again with the right run.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th over 650m at this track beaten 6 lengths (38.50) behind Opawa Ingrid in a Class 0 on April 24. Placed two back at Manukau. Rates highly on best form. Expected to feature.
